Time information extraction is very useful in natural language processing (NLP), as it can be used in text simplification, information extraction and machine translation systems. In this paper we present the first steps of making that information accessible for Basque language: on one hand, Basque structures that convey time have been analysed based on grammars and, on the other hand, first decisions on tagging...
This article deals with noun+verb combinations in bilingual Basque-Spanish and Spanish-Basque dictionaries. We take a look at morphosyntactic and semantic features of word combinations in both language directions, and compare them to identify differences and similarities. Our work reveals the high complexity of those constructions and, hence, the need to address them specifically in Natural Language Processing ...
The aim of this paper is to give an overview of the state-of-art in automatic text simplification. To that end, we present the systems and prototypes according to the language the are built for, their target audience and the type of simplification (syntactic, lexical or both) they perform. Moreover, we expound the different evaluation methods that have been carried out with these systems and the resources and t...
